Italy coach Antonio Conte has explained naming Liverpool striker Mario Balotelli in his squad.
It will be the first time Conte has worked with the controversial forward.
"He certainly has significant experience with the Azzurri. He took part in a World Cup and European Championship," explained Conte.
"But that won't be all I am looking at, he must demonstrate that he can be a part of a certain type of football.
"The other four strikers have already given me valuable feedback, so they start at an advantage."
